At the cost of sounding like a pretentious bore, I would like to propose that Jorge Luis Borges' The Library and the motion picture Arrival seems to have the geometrically symmetrical language in common.

As the clouds gave way to a little bit of sunshine, @chelsea_mcgill4 @PrithaToGo & I were out & about in the back alleys of north #Kolkata, researching a new #walkingtour. The #WorldCup2018 lingers on in these neighbourhoods, not unlike the remnants of the city’s past! #Kolkata

Have you ever had that feeling of dissatisfaction as you kept scrolling down the rabbit-hole, that I should at least get down to watching #Nanette ?

The only reason for tweeting is that none of my friends know that I do it. #closettweeter #FridayFeeling

On our #Murshidabad trip, Sadhan-da, our knowledgeable toto driver pointed the temples out to us as Mohanlal’s temples. Mohanlal was appointed as Peshkar of Siraj’s Dewankhana which caused considerable jealousy! Without #oralhistory identifying this temple would be impossible!

If you’re pretty, you’re pretty; but the only way to be beautiful is to be loving. Otherwise, it’s just “congratulations about your face.”

.@chelsea_mcgill4 & I we’re going through a huge collection of photographs taken by my father throughout his career. Among them we found these three pictures of Dalhousie Square in #Kolkata taken probably in the late 1970s or early 80s! #100heirlooms #calcutta #oldphoto

The architect Thomas Heatherwick avoids self-deprecation. He calls his own designs “extraordinary.” Is his giant new work for New York, Vessel, a rival to the Statue of Liberty—or a monument to his self-regard? https://t.co/4pFhi2s56H

In her second post on #Metiaburuz @heritagewalkcal's @SpinSpinSpin writes about a process of "erasure" through dismantlement of Wajid Ali Shah's legacy and finds striking similarities with the fate of Bahadur Shah Zafar post 1857! https://t.co/A5fHyDBLbF
